2.Add the rice and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring often. The rice should start to turn translucent and get a little nutty smell.

3.Add in your liquid (be careful, it’s going to sputter and spurt and steam), stir to incorporate, cover with a lid and allow to come to a boil.

4.Once boiling, stir again, then reduce heat to low, re-cover and continue to cook for about 10 minutes.

5.Check your rice. If the liquid is all absorbed, then turn off the heat. If not cook for a couple more minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.

6.Now, here’s the trick to perfect rice. Once you have turned off the heat, fluff the rice with a fork, take a paper towel and place it over the pan and then put the lid on again. Let the rice steam with the paper towel for 5 minutes.

7.Viola, perfect rice.
